Review Summary

Escondite generally earns praise for its vibrant, authentic atmosphere and flavorful, fresh menu, with many diners highlighting the quality of the tacos, margaritas, and brunch options. While the tasting menus are frequently recommended for groups seeking to sample a variety of dishes, many patrons point out that individual portions can be quite small and pricey. Service experiences appear inconsistent; while several guests appreciate the friendly and attentive staff, others report significant delays, lapses in communication, or challenges with billing transparency. Despite mixed feedback regarding noise levels and value, the restaurant remains a popular destination for those seeking a festive environment and creative Mexican-fusion cuisine.

Went for lunch a quick bite, but I'm guessing the night menu is better. Nice textures in modern Mexican tacos, & everything was nice. Will be visiting at dinner time to try out again.

Good tacos but you need to order a few because they're very small. We also got churros & they were still a bit raw inside.

Très bon tacos & super ambiance! Les employés sont supers sympathiques & rapides. Le Margarita est bon, mais un peu trop dilué dans les glaçons à mon goût.

Great food but the service was so slow. We had to go to counter to get attention at 8PM, almost empty. When it came time to pay...had to go to counter to ask if we could pay. I felt invisible. Left a bad taste in my mouth for the experience. Old Montreal venue was 100% better. I'm being generous with 4 stars.
